Just trying to get a feel for what people have used for render management. I'm not worried about cost at the moment, just trying to see what my options are. It would be just to render with Maya software only and since this is the Rendering thread, i thought what better place to ask this. Please chime in and tell me what ya'll think. Thanks.

I'm also interested. I'm not very knowledgeable with the concept of a render farm though. Does it required for all the individual machines to have a copy of Maya? My understanding is that there would be a Maya installed on a main server and all the slaves in the render farm would have a very light client that would receive data to be computed. Correct me if I'm wrong. Actually, is there any website that actually describes how these farms are setup?

Any info is appreciated!

Thanks

Hello,

as main developer of DrQueue I will recommend you to give it a try. It's pretty stable and everyday gets better, also is GPL'ed.

Hope you like it.

Best wishes,
